The Tay Ninh Cao Dai Church held on February 23 a grand festival dedicated to the religious Supreme Being called Duc Chi Ton at Tay Ninh Holy See in Tay Ninh province.
The event, held annually on the eighth day of the first lunar month, is one of two most important festivals of the Caodai sect with many rituals including a dance of Long Ma (a legendary creature which is half horse and half dragon) and Tu Linh (the four holy beasts), and a parade in front of Temples.
The grand festival attracted large numbers of Caodai believers and visitors from domestic in the country and from overseas.
